Chapter 456: Princess Carry
Pei Ziheng's voice was icy. "Xia Ling, you better be serious and obediently sign our marriage certificate. After that, I will immediately send you to the hospital. If you make trouble out of nothing, you will bear the consequences yourself."
Xia Ling was hurting more and more, but she did not dare to disobey Pei Ziheng's command. With his help, she got off the car.
The bodyguards were already in position from the Rolls Royce to the doorstep of the Civil Affairs Bureau, making the short stretch of road like a red carpet. It was very exciting as there were crowds of people everywhere. Some of them came today to get a marriage certificate, some were reporters and paparazzi trying to grab a slice of the news, and some were fans who had gotten wind of the news.
Xia Ling tried to look energetic as she did not want to display a painful look in front of the public, and her charming little red dress covered her paleness. With her hair that was like snow and her exquisite accessories, she walked beside the tall and handsome Pei Ziheng like a happy new bride.
There were screams, cheers, and wishes of blessings as they walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau.
However, inside the Civil Affairs Bureau, it was very quiet; there were no noisy, interfering people. Under the bodyguards' protection, they walked into a small office to go through the formalities. There was only one clerk inside.
The accompanying bodyguards pulled out chairs for Pei Ziheng and Xia Ling and asked them to sit down.
Seeing such an arrangement, the clerk unconsciously sat up. He had just got the job not long ago, and it was the first time he was helping a bigshot register his marriage. Thus, he was rather nervous and stuttered. "Both of you, please sit. Con... congratulations. Miss Y... Ye, you're really beautiful."
Xia Ling's lower abdomen was still painful, so she did not answer him.
Pei Ziheng's face fell a little. Could it be that this small clerk dared to tease his woman?
The clerk was scared by his expression. Immediately, he kept silent like a cicada in cold weather and handed them a blank marriage certificate. "Please... please sign here." He said.
Pei Ziheng hurriedly signed his name on the marriage certificate. Then, he handed the pen to Xia Ling. "Xia Ling, it's your turn."
Xia Ling stomach hurt more intensely, and cold sweat trickled down her forehead.
She forcefully bit her lips until they turned white to prevent herself from screaming.
Even the clerk in registration office saw that there was something wrong and asked with concern, "Miss Ye, you don't look too well. Are you ok? Do you need me to pour some hot water for you?"
Xia Ling did not have the strength to answer him. Trembling, she took the pen from Pei Ziheng. Right now, she could only quickly sign this marriage certificate and sell herself. Only then would he send her to the hospital. She was in so much pain that she could not think anymore. Her mind was muddled, and she felt some warmth and dampness between her legs. Perhaps she was bleeding.
This knowledge made her more afraid.
She tried to hold the pen a few times but could barely hold it. Cold sweat wet her eyelashes. She wanted to sign her name on the marriage certificate, but she did not have any strength.
Beside her, Pei Ziheng coldly looked at her. "Don't pretend. It's useless."
Xia Ling was hurting so badly that even breathing was difficult. The black nib made a messy scribble on the marriage certificate. Suddenly, an intense pain struck her lower abdomen. She slumped forward and lost consciousness.
"Xiao Ling!"
"Miss Ye!"
Everyone exclaimed at the same time.
Pei Ziheng quickly held her and carried her skinny body. His hands reached out to see if she was still breathing. Thankfully, she was.
"Hurry! Get on the car and drive to the hospital!" He instructed the chauffeur as he ran outside.
"Hey, wait!" Behind the counter, the small clerk called out. "What about the marriage certificate?"
Although Pei Ziheng had just signed it, that scribble Miss Ye did before she fainted was not counted as a signature. The small clerk was in a dilemma. Should he enter their marriage registration information into the system filing database? Had these two people completed their marriage registration?
Pei Ziheng paused in his footsteps. "We're already married. Record it down."
The clerk was in a difficult situation. "But Miss Ye hasn't signed yet."
Thus, Pei Ziheng carried Xia Ling back. He held one of her hands and stuffed a black pen into her other hand. After that, he messily wrote "Ye Xingling" on the certificate.
The clerk's expression changed. It can't be! Was he signing for her?
He hesitatingly said, "This... This is against the rules."
"Didn't you see her take the pen to sign?" Pei Ziheng was very impatient and coldly spat.
This... Wasn't this distorted logic? The clerk was horrified. He had never encountered such a situation before. In the presence of the most ruthless and powerful business tycoon in the commercial world, he was at a loss for words.
Pei Ziheng looked down at the fainted Xia Ling. "Record it. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences." Xiao Ling was still in a coma, and he did not have time to speak nonsense with this small clerk.
The clerk was frightened by his takedown and said instinctively, "Yes."
Pei Ziheng harried Xia Ling and rushed out without looking back.
It was still crowded with people outside the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Countless people were waiting for them to come out.
Pei Ziheng wanted to rush out but stopped for a moment at the entrance. He turned Xia Ling's head towards his chest and used his arms to cover her face before walking out.
Wow... Ye Xingling was actually being carried by Pei Ziheng!
They were just so in love!
There was an uproar in the crowd, and the shutters and screams rang.
No one found out that Xia Ling had fainted. They only thought that she was shy and refused to show her face. The way Pei Ziheng held her was too beautiful, like a scene in an idol drama. His tall and formally dressed figure looked like a god against the light as he held a girl wearing a gorgeous dress in his arms. Her long hair was flying, and it slightly revealed her neck which was as white as a jade.
The fans screamed as they could not contain their excitement seeing such a perfect match made in heaven!
Only the bodyguards looked serious. They opened the door for Pei Ziheng, escorted him and Xia Ling into the car, and immediately closed the door.
Pei Ziheng said to the chauffeur, "Go!"
The driver stepped on the gas pedal and sped to the hospital as quickly as possible.
Pei Ziheng carried Xia Ling as he directly rushed to the obstetrics and gynecology department. The doctors there were also scared by her condition as they immediately tried to rescue her. It was difficult, but they were finally able to stabilize her vital signs.
Pei Ziheng stayed beside Xia Ling's bed and tightly held her hand.
Just now, he thought that Xia Ling was faking the pain in her stomach, but he did not think that it was real. Just now, the doctor told him that she had some signs of miscarriage and might have been emotionally provoked.
Pei Ziheng looked at her pale cheeks with a dark expression.
It was a long time before Xia Ling finally woke up from her coma.
She was put on a drip to protect her fetus.
